Part of our economic development is the use of technology. The use of internet, gadgets and appliances are part of our daily lives. We are all part of technological advancement and many of us benefits well by the technology. Technology plays a vital role in our society and economy. Being part of the society, people needs to adapt! People needs to cope up with such advancement! We continuously using of cellphones as our communication and games, collecting various information in the internet and performing daily task and job the help of technology. We are capable to work easily because of technology. We are using it but I know that many of us don't know the people behind our future.

I gather some information based on the people behind our technology and I wanted them to acknowledge because there discoveries and inventions lead to the welfare of our society. Without their sacrifices, we are still ignorant as of now. I want to give a gratitude for:

Vinton Gray Cerf - Father of Internet
Cerf is an American internet pioneer, who is recognized as one of the fathers of internet, sharing this title with TCP/IP co-inventor Bob Kahn. His contributions have been acknowledged and lauded, repeatedly, with honorary degrees and awards that include the National Medal of Technology, the Turing Award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Marconi Prize and membership in the National Academy of Engineering.
Timothy John Berners-Lee - Father of World Wide Web
also known as TimBL, is an English engineer and computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford.
Marty Cooper - Father of the mobile phone
Cooper filed a patent for the 'radio telephone system' in 1973, while working at Motorola, and was the first person to make a call on a portable cell phone.
Tony Fadell - Father of iPod
Fadell had an idea, pitched it around, was hired by Apple and the rest is history. He started as an outside consultant, became the first member of Apple's iPod hardware engineering team in 2001, and is now senior vice president of the iPod Division.
John Backus - Father of FORTRAN
The former IBM computer scientist developed FORTRAN (Formula Translator) in the 50s. FORTRAN is considered the world's first widely used computer programming language.
Vic Hayes - Father of Wi-Fi
Hayes is a Dutch-born electrical engineer who worked at NCR Corp. and later Agere. He's known less for technological wizardry than for his diplomatic skills. As chairman of the IEEE 802.11 working group for wireless LANs, he was instrumental in developing the standards that led to the success of 802.11 wireless LANs. Today, he is Senior Research Fellow at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands.
John Cioffi - Father of DSL
Is a Stanford professor who was intent on coming up with a way to deploy broadband over copper wires and developed asymmetrical digital subscriber line (DSL) technology. He left Stanford in 1991 to found Amati Communications Inc.
James Gosling - Father of Java
Canada-born Gosling was born to code. While working on a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie-Mellon, he wrote a multiprocessor version of Unix. At Sun, he is credited with inventing the Java programming language in 1991.

Thank you for making our life more easily, we owe a great debt to you. You are the foundations of the development of our economy.

Yes you are right but Satoshi Nakamoto is the main reason why we also use that things to earned money thanks to the creator of bitcoin. They are all connected which means our life will now easy about connections to other people and even transactions.

Thank God for these people! for whatever reason that they invented these things somehow they foresee that things things they invented will become part of world history and that  God use them gave them wisdom and intelligence to create such as these...and for this reason we are so thankful that we benefited from what they have done and with much gratitude and respect we who are recipient of these invention should be responsible and accountable too so that the next generation will inherit and benefit as well.

The world we know, from the very beginning, is able to explore and understand the world from a higher perspective.

Because we are enjoying the civilization that great scientists bring us!

Just like the block chain technology, bring a new round of scientific revolution!

these guys are amazing, but there are more incredible guys who have done a lot of things, in my opinion Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Galileo Galilei, Nikola Tesla, Antoine Lavoisier, are people who have done a lot for science and for the world. these guys deserve our respect and hope that someday we can master the space, build better planes and be able to travel to more planets

Thank these great people for bringing us a wonderful life!

we have to be grateful

In science, it feels more appropriate to use the pathfinder metaphor.

It will be much easier for future generations to walk on the road ahead of them.

Thank these great people for bringing us a wonderful life!

So you you think future is all about software? I think the code can't solve some important problems in human life.You also missed the satoshi nakamoto who is maybe the best one among them.
yes our future is not only about software and I think our future is in our hands, that's why we all trying so hard to make a better future with crypto currency. crypto currency make our lives easier especially in making money and crypto currency give us hope to increase our lives.

But you must also look that the technology you have mentioned become some kind of double edged sword for a considerable amount of people. With the discovery of the internet, mobile phones there comes social media websites, at first it was doing its thing making people interact with one another  but when the social websites grow it made people less socialize and worst made people become less productive. Some people think that this websites are enough for their entertainment but what is really happening is that too much of it is a distraction in your real life. So not all technology has positive effects some of it if abused will give you negative effects.

Luca Pacioli - In 1494, the first book on double-entry accounting was published by Luca Pacioli. Since Pacioli was a Franciscan

 friar, he might be referred to simply as Friar Luca. While Friar Luca is regarded as the "Father of Accounting," he did not

invent the system. Source : https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2320658

The man who is recognized as the creator of basic accounting is Luca Pacioli, an Italian mathematician and writer. Pacioli

developed a system comprehensible enough for school-age boys to understand; he recorded this system in a textbook titled

Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportionate Proportionalita.

I think you should mention Charles Babbage, the man who originated the concept of a programmable computer. He is considered the "father of the computer".
Most of the people you mentioned are all about software, but I think that hardware is equally important, and it started way back before mobile phones, it all started with Abacus Smiley
If we are talking hardware, William Shockley and John Bardeen of bell labs too deserve a mention for the first transistor. The device that eventually enabled all logic devices.

Although as Hydrogen so ruefully pointed out earlier, It gets me every time to imagine how those early innovators would have worked.
Nothing against anyone on your list but do you ever get an impression our standards for innovation, progress and invention are steadily being lowered to produce an illusion that these things are not diminishing over time?
Today it is all about snazzy IDE's with tools and pre-built libraries ready to be exploited to make the next idea come to fruition. But like you pointed out, it does look like we no longer have that age of fundamental discoveries and inventions.. Sad When ENIAC would have been built with its thousands of vacuum tubes occupying several hundred square feet. Those people really were giants.

How those people built on the capabilities of the first machines to gradually reach to the first microprocessors. How they would have programmed the instruction set for the first microprocessors in real bits and bytes, making them come to life. The ALU, I/O, 8 KB of EEPROM and a few LED's interacting to create the first illusion of a response from the machine!! Shocked Such wonders they would have been. Gradually all of that complexity got abstracted away from bits to mnemonics to programming languages and now to function blocks based IDE's..

It is admirable that we are making programming more and more accessible but i frankly feel bad that the fundamentals are no longer as accessible as they would have been back in the days.. And that we never got to be a part of it..LOL..

You forgot to mention Satoshi Nakamoto.Our future is connected to bitcoin and the blockchain.
Perhaps you should mention Edison and Tesla.All the computers,smart phones and internet can`t run without electricity.I don`t know why you are making this thread.We all are paying tribute to the fathers of the modern technology every day.
You are right fellow! I salute to these men and special mention, Satoshi Nakamoto. For without him, crypto world will not also be possible.I also wanted to add Charles Babbage, the father of computer. All of these great men help make our life better

All Edison did was produce the lightbulb and lobby politicians to lay electric cables everywhere.

The real hero of the electric story is Italian physicist Alessandro Volta, who invented the early battery in 1800, and then produced and sent a current.

This people you mentioned have nothing to do with our future, why? Because the only man who will create our future is our own. No matter what this people created will be useless if laziness of people will prevail and would not do in order to improve their lives.

I agree with Ranly123, specifically the bold text part. IMO, the future that they (people on your list) have influenced to is our present time and not our future.
When I read the topic title, I thought I could see a list of young and presently active person/s which contribute on the development of new technologies.

How about Noyce, Moore (Moore's Law) and Groove - Intel Corporation.

I think those guys really shape the way how they shape computing and now we are enjoying their chips on every Desktop or Laptop we used to connect to the Internet?

And to quote:

Quote
What is 'Moore's Law'
Moore's law refers to an observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965. He noticed that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since their invention.

And if we are going to apply it to bitcoin;

So the internet and the World Wide Web were invented by two different individuals. Go figure, that's a nice fact
